|

This is a photo from last year’s Jerome-Gun Hill Road BID festival. This year’s festival is happening on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.. Stop by. It’s always a good time.. If you’re not familiar with this particular street festival (as you can tell, tis the season for them), Jerome Avenue from Gun Hill Road to Mosholu Parkway is blocked off for a boisterous block party, complete with food, fun activities for kids and a packed lineup of performers.

Tensions are high in the ongoing Bronx synagogue bomb plot trial. According to NY1, Judge Colleen McMahon got into verbal spats yesterday with lawyers on both sides of the case. Police arrested a 30-year-old woman yesterday in connection to a fire she allegedly started last week in the basement of an apartment building in West Farms.

There may not be alligators in New York’s sewers, but a Bronx man found a 3-foot snake in his toilet earlier this week. Authorities say it was a harmless corn snake, and likely someones discarded pet. A Bronx man is being charged with the sexual assault of an 11-year-old girl Throgs Neck girl who went missing last week.
